2 Figure 1 Bioluminescence patterns and distribution among different species. (A) Continuously green (λmax 530 nm) glowing fungus Neonothopanus gardneri. Photo from (B) Green-yellow (λmax ∼550 nm) pulsing light organ of the common glowworm (Lampyris noctiluca). Image: wikimedia commons. (C) Glowing light organ of a dragonfish Photostomias guernei continuously emitting blue (λmax 530 nm) light. Image: wikimedia commons. (D) Wavelengths of bioluminescent organisms in different habitats. Number of species are approximated for intervals of 20 nm. Redrawn from Widder E.A. (2010). Bioluminescence in the ocean: origins of biological, chemical and ecological diversity. Science 328, 704–708, and Hastings, J.W. (1996). Chemistries and colors of bioluminescent reactions: a review. Gene 173, 5–11. (E) Schematic of the fungal bioluminescence reaction as proposed by Oliveira et al. (2012).
